Night shift crews used infrared
detectors to identify hot spots that were flagged for the day crews to extinguish.Mop-up, patrol, and rehabilitation continued
around the 127-mile perimeter of both fires. A helicopter equipped with mapping
capabilities will fly “low and slow” over the fires today.

Full suppression of the Douglas Complex
fires continues, even though some suppression resources may be released for
assignment to wildfires elsewhere in the West.

Gusty 20 mph winds for the past two days
tested fire lines in the southwest portion of the Dad’s Creek Fire, but no spot
fires outside the fire perimeter were reported.Crews continue to patrol and hold while extinguishing remaining hot
spots.

The Rabbit Mountain and the Dad’s Creek
fires are active fire areas and closed to the public due to firefighting
